How many should I run? I have a 13'beam, probably closer to 11' at the transom. Thinking of somewhere between 3-5. I don't need it super bright.

Purchased 3 of these lights this summer for the 6.5 ft wide stern of my 17 foot inboard/outboard bowrider. Mounted same below waterline. In the local lake, whose water is less than clear, similar to Atlantic Ocean off North Carolina, the lights provide 3 feet of light blue illumination from the stern of the boat. Provides a nice ambience in late evening/night cruises and is adequate close-in lighting for swimming around the rear of the boat.

I would start with three, and see if you want to jump to five. If you are in fairly clear water three will be plenty, but just in case when you're running the wire make it easy to jump to five if you need to... I don't think you'll find the need to though.

Have 5 on my boat for sale and they are awesome. Just ordered a 23 ft G23 Nautique and ordered 8 for that boat. 6 for transom and 2 for trailer wheel well

I have a 8ft beam and installed 2 of these lights and am very happy with the out come

I think you would be good with 4. But 5 would give you a center one and look great

I used this on my inflatable tender, installed 2 for the stern and does a good job. For a real boat i would go with brighter more $ leds. These arent very bright. For a dinghy its perfect.

I put one on wake plate of my Mastercraft prostar 190 and am satisfied. I see two on the transom of newer wake boats. 8 ft beam... From the factory. Hope this helps.

That question has a lot of variables to it... Depending on your lighting configuration, and depending on how 'bright' you want the lighting, they may. If you want it like daylight, you're going to use an awful lot of them, and you're going to need a pretty big transformer to run them. Like any light, elevation and position make a big difference in coverage. Because of the length of the area you're trying to light, locating them all in one group may not do it... they'd likely have to be spread out a bit if you want even lighting across the whole area. For the price, you may want to pick up just one, and play around with it to figure out how much light and where it would need to be located to get the coverage you're looking for.

Depends on distance and wire size, not just "how many". At 150 foot on 12 guage wire you can run one. 10 lights will need 12 guage wire and you can only run about 13 feet of cable. Buying a bigger transformer will not help with distance.

Get an HID conversion kit. That should help with you lows unfortunately it won't help you high beam.

If you want a Low Beam only you need H1, H3, H7, H11, 9005-9006 you need a Single Beam not Double. And work great!

We placed three lights along a 7'x3' counter. I am not sure two would be enough. The light is very focused, almost like a task light. The shade is on the small side so it also limits the spread of the light. That being said, I love our grouping of three!

Hello.I build for my friends that own a warehouse 2 aluminum frames and hung 12 of these fixtures in groups of three(total 24) . I would recommend to alternate between the highest light temperature and a daylight one, so if you mix them, you get a very nice result. The light is very uniform, and you can do some degree of precision work with it.

I currently have 2 lighting up a mid size red maple. 40' or taller. It is at the end of a 200' run. Works great

Not too bad if you aim it just a few feet in front of you. But that means you can't go too fast and the beam is pretty narrow. I found it's not much brighter than some 1 watt lights I have had. I replaced it with a Cygolite Metro 360. It's about $20 dollars more but it's a far, far, better light with a much wider and brighter beam, good for safely going about 18mph. Best light I have ever had. I would highly recommend it as a reasonably cost effective alternative. (There is also a Cygolight Metro 400 which is only a couple dollars more than the 360) I believe the top of the mount of the blaze will swivel if you loosen a screw but I'm not positive of that.

This is one light. We have plenty, so 3 is no problem! Just purchase 3.Thank you!

I hung 2 over my bar and they light it nicely. I would probably consider hanging 4 for an area as big as you're considering.

My lfs has a comparable model. They recommended 6-10 in. Mine are about 6" from the water, I would adjust the height to get the correct spread and then adjust the brightness accordingly. In other words the higher you hang the lights the higher you should start your intensity

I have a white LED light that is supposed to be 500 lumen but it is actually 300 lumen, mounted as a shooting light. I can throw a small beam to 200 yds easily. That is as far as you are going to shoot at night. My red led is used for scanning. Very hard to see the crosshairs with red.

I bought two for a fork truck that unloads semi's and they make it like daylight. If your looking for a long range beam these won't work. I use a GE 1409 lamp on my off road. They are very long range

Depends on the types of bulbs you use - this is a 200W unit and we bought ours to operate six halogen path lamps plus three spotlights, where the sticker value load was around 130 W, i.e. we could have run abouyt twice as many of the pathway lights or teo more spotlights. In the last couple of years, LEDs have become affordable and these use about 15% of the power, so you can run a few dozen lights off one of these.

It's best to have too much than too little air movement. Not knowing how many lights you have (say 5 600w) with this set up I would go for at least an 8 inch duct fan. Also, get a brand name - they last forever. Hope you get it going :)
